Thank you so much for the response. Yes, i e-filed in March.
Here's my situation. I suffered a catastrophic failure about 2 weeks ago. I have been able to restore a replacement machine from a very recent Acronis backup (lucky that), but for some reason TurboTax 2020 did not come in. All my earlier versions and files are there. I have an older backup from May where I can see TT 2020, all the files, registry keys, and yes, I found the data and the pdf file after your note. I bought this back in late 2020 as an electronic download from Costco, and I have that record, as well as the record of my filings in March. But Intuit does not show any downloads available to me, and says I need the non-existent cd. I have not been able to find the downloaded file on the backup, probably because I deleted it after using it. Anyway, I am kind of stuck.
I see a couple of paths:
1. Restore the pdf and manually file my amended return (that's why I'm looking for the program).
2. Restore the machine to the may backup, file the amended return, and then restore back using a current backup (saving the data and pdf files off line, obviously).
3. Try restoring all the TT and Intuit files I can find on the May backup in hopes that the program will run, and get the data file and pdf too.
4. Restore the data and pdf files and beg Intuit to let me download and activate again based on my purchase receipt and e-file history.
I lean towards #4, but I don't want to commit to a plan till I have some reasonable assurance it will work.
Any thoughts?
Bruce
